A Very Mature Discussion About Love Potions

So I was reading io9 and they had a fine article about consent and love potions in the Harry Potter universe, mainly that love potions aren't consent to sexual acts. Whatever. It was one of about a dozen quaint posts I skim over every day between putting in job apps. However, this one was a bit different because a user named crashfrog framed the issue thusly:

Genuine love is no less a chemical phenomenon than any "love potion" might be, we know it comes about as a result of chemical releases in the brain you can't really control (indeed, that love is a non-volitional experience is pretty central to our conception of it), but for whatever reason we don't consider sexual consent under those circumstances to be invalid. If you consented to intercourse under the effects of a love potion, I can't see how that's any different than consenting to intercourse under the effects of just regular ol' love, both being chemical influences outside your control. 

If you ever have doubt in the goodness of the internet, know that many people took exception to this. The conversation continued on and we talked a bit about it before I actually looked up Harry Potter love potions and found they were pretty directly fucked up and not related very much to actual love.

I'm afraid I can't get gay married...

...I'm already in love with the internet.
